Chapter 96

Fiona’s POV

Fiona retired to bed for the night, and it did not take longer than three minutes to fall asleep, despite Julian being in her living room and her couch covered in his blood.

She didn’t fear; perhaps it was because she knew where he was. There was no reason to fear him. There was so much she wanted to ask and so much she wanted to know. Yet she also didn’t want to. Knowing might influence her stance with him in all this, and she wanted things to continue this way.

She smiled and rubbed her head as a slight headache set in. “You are a man of your word. And no, you didn’t wake me up; good morning.”

“I hope it isn’t too early.”

She shook her head. “No, it isn’t too early. How are you and your
